Five persons from Latvia detained at EURO 2012

Polish police have detained more
than 500 people, including five persons from Latvia, since the start of Euro
2012, the government said on Tuesday.

"There were a total of 515
individuals detained. The police were prepared for a much larger number,"
Interior Minister Jacek Cichocki
told a news conference in Warsaw.

The 153 foreigners detained include
92 Russians, 16 Croats, 15 Irishmen, 11 Belarusians, five persons from Latvia,
three Romanians, two Spaniards, two Serbs, two Germans, one Indian, one
Hungarian, one Australian, one Portuguese and one Dutch, writes LETA/AFP.

"Compared to the number of
people who watched the matches, the number of individuals detained for
incidents is really very minimal," Cichocki said.

Police in Poland can detain
suspects for up to 48 hours but formal arrests and charges have to be approved
by a court.

Data on the number of people
arrested and charged with offences was not given.

According to the minister, more
than 2.5 million people frequented four grounds and numerous fan-zones across
Poland since the competition started on June 8.

In the worst violence, police
detained 190 people on June 12 in Warsaw amid clashes preceding the
Poland-Russia match that ended in a 1-1 draw.
